You have to send a GET request to http://api.scrapingdog.com/google_scholar/author with the below-given parameters.

Parameters

ParamterDescription

citation_id required

The parameter is essential for fetching the citation of individual articles. It's mandatory when choosing "view_op=view_citation" and allows access to IDs within our structured JSON response. Type: String

view_op required

Author ID of the person you want to get data

The parameter allows users to access specific sections of a page, offering two choices:

  • Use "view_citation" to display citations. It requires the citation ID.

  • Opt for "list_colleagues" to view all co-authors.

Type: String

MACS empirically models the shift size of ChIP-Seq tags, and uses it to improve the spatial resolution of predicted binding sites. MACS also uses a dynamic Poisson distribution to effectively capture local biases in the genome, allowing for more robust predictions. MACS compares favorably to existing ChIP-Seq peak-finding algorithms, and is freely available.",
